Here are some short reviews of things I watched in November.
Movies
- Dune - Part 1: See my review here.
- Shang Chi - The Legend of the 10 Rings: Something different from Marvel, based on Korean mythology. I'm not a fan of Marvel's recent direction, but this one is good. (Disney+)
- Finch: The plot and background of this make no sense at all, but Tom Hanks is good and it has a cute robot. What more could you want (not!). (Apple+)
- No Time To Die: This would be a good point to wrap up the Bond franchise, which is getting pretty long in the tooth. I'll stick to rewatching the earlier movies. (VOD)
- Red Ticket: Another heist movie that doesn't hold up if you think about it too much, but it's entertaining enough for a Saturday night. (Netflix)
- Sound from the Deep: A Norwegian short film with a Lovecraftian theme. It's very tense and watchable. (YouTube)
TV Shows
- Dalgliesh: Two made-for-TV movies based on novels by P. D. James. If you like you whodunnits dark and grim, you'll like these. (Acorn TV)
- Manhunt: The Night Stalker: The second season of this show based on the career of a famous British detective and starring Martin Clunes of Doc Martin fame. It's very well done and is easily the best detective series we've seen since Line of Duty (Acorn TV)
- The Wheel of Time: I've not read the books so I can't comment on the series' faithfulness to them, but it stands perfectly well on its own. (Amazon TV)
- Cowboy Bebop: I don't remember much about the original anime series. but I enjoyed this live-action remake a lot. (Netflix)
- Invasion: This one starts out slowly with several stories being set up in several locations. It's very well done but I hope it gets moving a bit quicker. (Apple TV+)
